The village witch, huh? Well, it's nice to know Radek has someone else keeping an eye on him when I can't. He's more Radek's friend than mine, but he's a nice enough kid.
Vit is a good man, and a good doctor, though he is better at both when he is not drunk. He will regain his sense in time, I'm sure. Until then, I will make sure he puts on pants, and lights, and eats something that isn't just vodka.
Even though we grew up in the same village, I didn't really know him until we were both grown men and meeting again in the army. As the world's first and only Radek whisperer, I feel obligated to keep an eye on him and make sure he's alright. Not that he can't take care of himself- he's a capable huntsman, he's got better life skills than me, and he's a lot more socially adept than he lets on- but just that, well... Sometimes he's not all there, and I don't want him to die. Radek is my best friend. If I lost him... Ugh, I'm getting weepy because I'm drunk. It's enough to say that Radek is a good man, I think.
I thought witches were women, but I suppose I was wrong. He seems to have a clever head on his shoulders-- here's hoping we stop the Beast so that his head can stay where it is.
Oh, he is just FAR too serious and brusque to charm people into spilling their secrets, you know?
First of all, elves shouldn't be this small or sickly, it's just weird! Second of all, Kumoko isn't too bad - for a little kid, that is. ...I mean, she's definitely cooler than Makura, but that's not hard to do. I do hope Makura figures out a way to help her.
Dork. I mean, he's cooler than Makura is, but that's not saying much since he's still dorky enough to hang out with him. He makes Makura happy though, and he's more than happy to help me sneak around behind Makura's back to do cool stuff, so I GUESS he can stick around for now.
Kumoko is the reason that I fight; the thing that keeps me going when everything else has gone to hell. She's the world to me, not only because we're family but because… So many things, really. She made me realize that people are worth caring about not only for their station or function. She helps me not take myself so seriously. She sees me not just as some pawn in a greater game but as a lame older brother that she can laugh at and share stories with and rely on.
I want to make this world a better place. For her, and for all the other voiceless people of the Underdark who are counting on me. My time on the surface has made me realize that perhaps my original designs were misguided, but I will not falter in my truest goal- to save everyone.
Makura's a major-league dork. He writes poetry that he keeps in a secret diary that he thinks I don't know about! He sighs out of windows! He's way too nice to make it in this world. That's why he still cares about me, even though… Whatever! I have to not die so that someone's around to look out for him in the future, because he sure as hell won't look out for himself.
I'll admit- I was a little wary when I first met Ornias. After all, usually Gany's a one-night stand kinda guy, and him hanging around longer than that made me suspicious that something was up. I guess that something was love. Gany's happiness is my happiness, though, and I've come to be good friends with Ornias. You need all the level heads you can get when Gany's around.
I met Raziel through my lizardfolk connections. While I think she maybe could have tried to be more open with my party members at the start, I understand her trepidation in doing so, as well as the literal magic keeping her from speaking plainly. Still, I'm glad she called us all together, and I think she's quite courageous- even a dragon has much to fear when standing against gods.
Cliq is a wise and skillful warrior. Were it not for her guidance and care, I shudder to think what may have happened to our plane. I have trusted her with my life before, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Oh right, she DID offer me that fancy ancestral weapon that's super important to my entire culture....I guess it's good that she got me started on this whole adventuring thing!!! Maybe I'll even do something with that ancient magical weapon someday...
Ganymede Tiberius Loutrophoro Pavo Ubanishol Ahtola is of the most impressive sorcerers I have met in a long while, well befitting his noble lineage. Well, his power is befitting of his lineage; his behavior on the other hand… I wonder what shall become of Aventus with a Crown Prince so disinterested in ruling and in taking his ancestral birthright.
It is always impressive to find talent so young. His skills with blade and mace are not to be trifled with, and I'm sure he shall be a fine hero for all his years. Let's just hope he never turns those skills to dragon slaying, eh?
Sert! What a fascinating fellow. Not too terribly common to see dragons afoot these days, and his great body of knowledge makes him fascinating to chat with. To top it all off, he seems to have some innate sense for where the best coffeehouses can be found no matter where we dock! I'm sure given time he'll learn to roll with the punches and improvise a bit better, but for now I think our unexpected adventure into crown re-acquisition has him quite out of sorts.
Dravo's a good fucking kid. He's also impressively flame-retardant, which is quite convenient for our incredibly poorly thought out plans. He's gonna go far in life.
Narith is a lot cooler than I am, and I'm glad he tolerated me helping out on our first quest so we could become friends. He's fearless, acrobatic, and surprisingly good at getting stabbed! Wait, that sounds not so great… Well, however you want to say it, I hope I can be as good a friend to him as he has been to me.
LANCE IS SUCH A GOOD DUDE THAT I ACTUALLY FELT KINDA BAD PRETENDING TO BE A HOLY RELIQUARY SALESMAN IN FRONT OF HIM. GOOD THING HE CAUGHT ON, AND I COULD GO BACK TO BEING MY SORT OF AWFUL SELF INSTEAD, HAH! ALSO HIS NAME'S FUCKING HILARIOUS. LANCE FULLWOOD THE GAY PALADIN! HE SUCKS DICK FOR JUSTICE!!!!
Goddamn was it nice to have someone else who acted like a fucking adult. Like, yeah he kept accidentally shooting us in the ass (both literally and figuratively with that charisma of his), but he's a great, trustworthy friend that I'm so sorely glad to have met.
I know he's got a lot of secrets and probably a past waiting to bite us in the ass but… hey, it's the frontier! How many people don't have secret, dangerous back stories? I hope he knows that he can count on me to be there for him when shit hits the fan.
Seiji is a capable soldier with a good head on her shoulders. Neither of us are one for making many deep personal connections at work, but I trust her and have faith in her. I'm sure she will help the others secure the treasures and stop the Hound of Night.
The Imperial babysitter keeping an eye on my double agent... I'm certain she's not someone to be trifled with. I had been intending on just making a show of force, something to show that Kichi and I weren't working together, but I suppose I fucked that up royally.
If I'd known this little shit was basically gnome fifteen at the start of our adventure I would have had some WORDS for R. As it stands, however, I'm glad he was with us. He's a shithead, yeah, but what teenager isn't? Besides, he's one of the most talented spellcasters I know. I just wish he'd stop trying to make evil robots all the time...
Zorium's an accomplished mage, a savvy businessman, a good friend... Honestly what isn't there to be impressed with?? I'm really glad we met, and I'm even gladder that he still wants to be my friend even after the truth came out...
HAVING A NAME CERTAINLY ADDS A CERTAIN WARMTH TO HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE, OR ABOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER. THE PRINCE IS MINE, AND I WILL PROTECT HIM WITH ALL DUE VIOLENCE.
I worry sometimes that we put too much pressure on Iori by expecting him to take the throne... But I trust that he'll be able to rise to the occasion. He's stronger than he believes he is, and I have nothing but faith in him. I just hope he knows well enough to not fall for any of the Inugami's falsehoods and promises.
HIS FATHER ORDERED ME TO PROTECT HIM. I HAD INTENDED TO LOATHE HIM AS MUCH AS I LOATHED HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM BUT...
HMM.
MAYBE BEING A DOG WITH A NAME AND A LOYAL MASTER CAN BE ENJOYABLE, TOO.
Sid! What is there to say about Sid that isn't great? He's a good ruler with a kind heart and a level head. I'm really glad we can rely on him when we need the force of authority that isn't being puppeted by the Bounty Hunters guild or the other nasty factions of the Frontier. Though I do I feel kinda bad that every time we meet up, it's when things are going absolutely nuts. Maybe someday we'll get to hang with him without it turning into a crazy misadventure.
It is so rare to see centaurs in the Underdark, and watching this one slip through my fingers is infinitely vexing. All is not lost though. One day I will have his brain.
